You will not believe what a relief it is to read that several other find these Yank Tanks drive like a rudderless supertanker. My first laps of practice last night were like a nightmare with much grass cutting sceneray modification! Plus anything other than a marshmallow on the gas pedal and the rear tyres simply ignite and no matter what i do the temps will not come down unless I stop the car and wait Undecided

Surviving the race without mashing it into the barriers or running on the rims looks unlikely.

@Evil. Didn't you do Tony's similar (ish) event a couple of weeks ago? Ahh actually you won it...

Yes, I did the V8 series in GTL on this very track and squeaked a win. But, for some reason I find the cars in GTL relatively easy to set up and drive, whereas the identical car in PnG and on the same circuit I cannot tame.?? Huh

They feel like completely different beasts to me and I cannot explain it.  I thought that as both GTL and PnG are built on the same GTR2 platform they would be more or less the same in terms of physics and response. But it seems I was wrong  Undecided
Unless of course I have done something wrong, which is always a distinct possibility!!

GTL is based on GTL, which "might" have some similarity to GTR1, but P&G is based on GTR2 which changed quite a lot of struff
and it's a mod not an original game. P&G3.1 was an update that improved quite a few things, but all the changes were not
to everyone's taste  Undecided

I think that you had it right the first time.   Grin

Top three drivers may only drive ....blah, blah, blah, means that they have permission to only drive those cars.  Which is correct.

Top three drivers can only drive ...  blah, blah, blah, implies that they lack the ability to drive anything else!   Tongue

lost FFB on the start line again  Sad  don't know why as didn't have fanaleds this time. Huh Seems to do it if I watch someone else do a lap during qually. Bloody annoying.
Tried to do a lap or two but threading a lumbering beast on a narrow track with no feedback was impossible. Only happens in P&G  :'(

Nice track, just too narrow for these barges.

Bah, was using my stick seq shifter because my paddles are double shifting and was so concerned about getting off the line and not selecting reverse (did it a couple of times in pracci)  that I jumped the start and received a stop/go penalty. Had a chase back but when I finally got within range of Dan and Matt, they both fell off giving me an easy pass. Lonely race then  Sad

Grats to John, Clive and Geoffers  Cool

Grats to John and all finishers.

My best result in PnG, but somewhat tempered by the absence of certain Italians  Roll Eyes.

Quite surprised to find that I got front row on the grid with a 2:12. It was about the same as I had managed in my hours practice on Wednesday and I thought it was at least 6 secs off what I was expecting to be pole. The fact that I had qualified so well gave me some comfort as it meant that what I was experiencing with these barges was much the same as everyone else, and that was a huge relief.

John was in a class of his own with 3 secs in hand over my best  I Am Not Worthy but I was determined to try and follow him in the early laps and get a good start.

The first few laps the plan worked and John dragged me away from the chasing pack until I had about 10 secs cushion behind me. Then I got an attack of the stoopids and on consecutive laps I made mistakes until Geoffers was within 3 secs at one point  Shocked
From then on I concentrated on getting everything nice and smooth and just managed the tyres to the end. Still not used to this tyre wear and usually panic at half race distance when I see how little rubber I might have left. I guess I got it somewhere near right this time as I had about 20% left on all 4 wheels at the end.

Slowly getting to grips with the PnG physics and handling, but it is a bit like pushing fog uphill with a stick sometimes.

Actually more like pushing butter up a porcupine's rectum with a red hot needle!

Great result lads!

I shall have to stay away more often.   thumbup2

Well that went about as well as expected..! Must be just me, but really found no enjoyment trying to drive these cars ocean liners.

Looking forward to proper cars again next week..!

Congrats podium.
